The Ria Formosa... Voted one of the 7 Natural Wonders of
Portugal

Competing with another 323
locations across the country, the Ria Formosa Estuary and Natural
Park was recently elected as one of the 7 Natural Wonder of
Portugal. The sotavento ecosystem obtained the most votes in the
category of Marine Areas. This recognition will most certainly
reinforce the potential market of nature tourism in the Algarve;
such as bird watching.

The President of the Algarve
Tourism Board, Nuno Aires states: "This distinction reveals the
great esteem that the Portuguese - and we share - for this the
natural landscape. I truly believe that the election will give a
new impulse to the nature tourism in the Algarve, a product that we
have worked on the last few years, and that will help the Ria's
preservation".

San Lorenzo can only express
content and pride in sharing this prize... as we all know we
benefit from the breath-taking and marvel of the Ria Formosa every
single day.

One of the most famous golf courses in the Algarve,
available exclusively to guests of Dona Filipa Hotel, Amarante
Formosa Park hotel, and of course, to those who are lucky
enough to be private members.

18 holes that lie in the unspoilt Southeast corner of Quinta do
Lago, bordering the Ria Formosa Estuary and salt water lagoons. A
golf course with beautiful Bermuda grass fairways that provide
perfect playing conditions.
